Pain

My nights wither away in remembrance
My days spent in waiting
I look up at sky, clouds obscure the sun
I wait for the wind to sweep away the clouds
So that a ray of hope can reach me
I’m stoned on the porch awaiting your return...

I keep looking at the road
It winds away in distance as far as I can see
Hoping to see you coming back to me
Many come and many go, but I’m still alone
You must have reasons to stay back
But I’m only yours so come and take me
It rains but I still burn in agony of your separation
Where's the peace???
I want to tear away my limbs
I can't bear this anymore; will you not end this torment???
My breaths come haltingly and I gasp all the time
My eyes always hurt from lack of blinking
In case you appear for a moment and I miss
My tongue has forgotten to move from lack of use
I’ve lost count of days & nights I’ve been standing here
No postman has yet brought your message
And the fire is still burning me, charring me
If I do not see you, I do not know what I will do
The pain alone would be enough to kill me
You know my plight, but you still are absent
How can you be so cruel, O! Heart of my heart!
Your remembrance fills me and your yearning kills me
They say you'll arrive when I die
I wish death would embrace me here and now
So that YOU would come and visit me
Every atom of my worthless body screams for you
Will you not take me?? O! Soul of my soul!??
People come and advise me
But they do not know what is churning inside me
They come and give me medicines
But they do not know what I suffer from
Your sight alone can cure me
Me, your love alone can heal
What shall I write, master!
Even the words fall short of what I feel!!!
(Every rain drop burns me, what is there in life without you O MASTER!!!!)
